Hi guys

I have these two birds bringing up 3 chicks at the moment.

 

The male is suppose to be a yellow face bluey colour

the female is the same colour but is a spangle.

The pics don't really show the colours well, they tend

to be a turquiose blue green colour.

so far 2 of the chicks are the same as the dad, however

they seem to have a deeper blue in them.

 

What do you think.

 

Will post pis of chicks soon.

 

Cheers people

:)

They are lovely. I would guess they are yellowface type 2's, and it is normal for the babies to be a normal skyblue or cobalt blue. Do most of the babies have white faces? :)

Thanks Rainbow

if both parents are carrying one dark factor gene each, then a chick could end up with two making them the shade darker (mauve) but I wounder if your male has a violet gene.
